I started learning Go maybe 2 months ago, and we're now using it at work in production for small-scale projects, with plans to make it our default server-side language. The onboarding experience has been quite easy and effective I must say.

I have only written javascript for the past ~5 years and while I've never gone bored of writing code in a ~15y career, Go has brought some pleasant freshness to my work.

All that to say that this guy and the whole Go team have done some good work.
